I want to connect an iMac 2009 end to a 5K iMac using target disk mode. I have several related questions.
The display on my 2009 iMac has stopped working two years ago and I replaced the machine with an iMac of 5 K. At the time I realized that it was not possible to connect the two machines in disc mode target but today I heard the Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter and started to pursue the investigation.
The hard drive on the iMac 2009 has worked when I he turned on last 2 years ago, but I couldn't see stripped lines colored screen.
1. is it possible to restore a Bluetooth for the keyboard and mouse when I don't see what is happening? (I removed a long time ago the batteries to store them.)
2 do I need to use a mouse and a keyboard on the older iMac if all I want to do file transfer between two iMacs using the 5 K as the master of the machine? I expect that the answer is yes because I need to hold down the T key as I start the older iMac in order to Target mode, but could someone confirm it's inevitable? (Where Q1.)
3 others managed to make the connection in similar circumstances, with a Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter? Is it that I have to be wary?
Thank you.

Will,
Unfortunately the target Display Mode will not work with iMacs Retina display. Apple will explain TDM and which machines, it is compatible with the use of your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode
In addition, he will explain what wiring is necessary.

My Thunderbolt screens have the possibility to be connected in Garland and get their signal on a single cable Thunderbolt, an iMac in target Display Mode should not also have this capability? Is an iMac in target Display Mode capable of simulating a Thunderbolt Display not only to get a video for himself but also for a Thunderbolt Display is connected?
I've heard tell that some people used their iMac screen target with the target Display Mode while the iMac has been connected to another monitor (not a Thunderbolt Display).
The result was that internal display of the iMac switched on the target Display Mode, but doesn't have the monitor connected.
I haven't found someone who has tried this and published his experience with a Thunderbolt Display connected to the iMac.
Unfortunately, a little more research would have responded and answered my question.
Yes, I can replace one of the Thunderbolt screens in the chain with an iMac. Replaced screen should be one that is not directly connected to the mac of the source.

iMac 27 "retina (end of 2015) with target disk Mode Macbook Pro?
Hello
I am interested in buying an iMac 27 "5 k retina (end of 2015) my household has also two early 2011 15" Macbook Pro, which are still in use.
I understand that this iMac no longer manages the target Display Mode. As I am unable to use the iMac as an external display for my Macbook, would it be possible instead, connect via Thunderbolt, a Macbook to the iMac, and access only to files hang when necessary?
If this can complicate things, I am limited as to how I can custom configure how to buy the iMac 27 "(je serais d'acheter la base 27" iMac, avec 1 to de disque DUR). " I also intend on buying an external SSD that I would use to run/start the iMac, using the drive HARD internal to the iMac as ' dedicated local storage'otential
EDIT: Would there be potential problems? I would be able to access just like I would if I say it, hooked to a USB key? If I was working on the files, I need to import them to the iMac or be able to work directly from the drive?
Yes.

Connect the Middle 2010 21.5 "iMac for mid 2011 21.5" iMac in target display mode
Hello
I looked for an answer to my question and I'm not 100% clear, so I ask your help please.
I have an iMac 21.5 "2010 middle which I want to connect to an iMac 21.5" 2011 mid (which I think the purchase) in order to have two screens. I know it can be done with these two models but the iMac 2010 has a Mini Displayport connector and the 2011 has a Thunderbolt connection, so I don't know if it's possible. I don't mind which screen is the main.
Any help is appreciated
Thank you
In fact, it can be done from the mid 2010 21.5 "iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt port. See the information in use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

Target Disk Mode - MacBook is not mounted in the desktop iMac
I have a MacBook to 2015 and a cable USB-A-USB-C marked 'SS '. In November 2015, I might start my MacBook in TDM and plug it into my iMac 2013 and see him mount on the desktop. I could then synchronize some of the files (using synchronize folders) and have up-to-date on my MacBook. Both computers running El Capitan.
But about 3 months ago this system has stopped working. Editing of my MacBook on the desktop iMac became sporadic and now never happens. I have tried different cables, connected to different USB ports (the back of the iMac, iMac keyboard and a Flash to USB dock (Belkin)), but no joy.
Has updated the firmware of computers? El Capitan has stopped this feature very useful to work?
Any ideas, anyone?
Chris
As a work-around, there are other ways of synchronization of files between devices.
iCloud Drive, Box, OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive. These will make everything you do.

What cable to connect an imac 2007 to an imac of 2015
I have an iMac 27 "new and want to connect an iMac 2007 to extend my desktop.
The other uses a Thunderbolt cable, but the 2007 doesn't have in this regard.
Recommendations?
Thanks... and Merry Christmas!
You do not have. An iMac 2007 does not support the option to display target, nor he would support a 27 inch HD resolution.

I want to connect my number iMessage from my iPhone to my iPad. How can I do this?
Be I want to connect to my number to my iPhone iMessage to use iMessage on my iPad how to do this?
Both the iPad and the iPhone must be on the same Wi - Fi network connection and using the same ID to iCloud. When you're together, you should be able to see a setting on the iPhone in settings > Messages message text. Which lights up and you should see the iPad. Once that is set, you will be able to use the iPad for iMessage and your phone number. You can also use this TEXT message, if the iPhone is close to the iPad.

I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?
It is a decision that was made by Apple. El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.
This is not uncommon. My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.
Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.
Ciao.

I would like to connect my iMac (21.5 inch display on a recent model of 2009) on my HDTV. I live in rural and can not get dish or cable TV. I like to watch movies on Amazon on television. The back of my monitor a firewire, mini display port and ethernet as well as USB ports.
Why not get an Apple TV? There are currently two versions available, the most recent being about $150, the previous version is on sale for $69 (was $ 100 until the new came a month or two ago) by Apple, maybe from a local retailer. You can then broadcast a wide variety of content wirelessly on your TV TV & film. I have a $100 models, and it runs great on my i - Mac.
